The archery women’s individual event at the Paris Olympics delivered mixed outcomes for the Indian contingent today.

Kumari's consistent performance under pressure highlighted her experience and skill, making her one of the top contenders for a medal.
However, it was a heart-wrenching exit for Bhajan Kaur. Despite a valiant effort against Indonesia’s Diananda Choirunisa, Kaur's journey ended in a dramatic shoot-off. Twice leveling the score, she demonstrated remarkable resilience and skill, but ultimately fell short, losing 5-6 in the shoot-off. Kaur's elimination is a tough blow for the Indian team, but her performance remains commendable.
As the competition progresses, all eyes will be on Deepika Kumari as she aims to advance further and bring glory to India. Stay tuned for more updates from the Paris Olympics.
